Personally, I prefer a reference that is only understood by a select few. The tiny karts in the back do just enough to assure you that you are seeing a Mario Kart reference.
You all can complain about ramyb in 99% of his other designs. I personally think they are crap and wholly unoriginal. This derby theme, however, is kind of asking for ramyb's style. It doesn't expressly say it, but it almost asks for a reference to a well known figure in pop culture adding in something with a cute face. Ramyb shouldn't really be criticized for what he does in this case because it is what half the designs out there are doing right now. This shirt is actually one I would buy and I have only said that about one other Ramyb shirt in the past.
If you want to complain about ramyb go start a thread somewhere else instead of nitpicking this design. Maybe I will join you there in a ramyb effigy-burning.

After all I wrote about how I don't think this is rejectionable, I happened to be skimming the unofficial derby rules and saw this:
Portal
-The video game 'Portal' has been successfully parodied once already, now all portal references are banned.

This is such a great design, Jewelwing, I hope it pushes up some more. It's got a really nice classic produce advertising feel. I hope this shirt finds a home somewhere if not here, cause it's awesome. +1!

Easiest derby theme in the world, and the shirt is still off. Yes, mushrooms are edible, yes Mario in all likelihood "eats" the mushrooms for power-ups. But the joke is not in the fact that the mushrooms are anthropomorphic. It's just a Mario reference. Which I'm aware is OK in this derby, so the design itself is technically valid, it's just Sirius GPP.
